My full name is Valerie Jean Ambrose. I am originally from coal country – Schuylkill County. I graduated from North Schuylkill in 1998. One of my passions in high school was swimming. In 2002 I graduated from Kutztown University with a degree in Elementary Education with concentrations in Art and Math. I recently obtained my Master’s Degree in Classroom Technology through Wilkes University. I currently live in Allentown with my husband since 2007, Ted. We love outdoors activities, such as camping, hiking, fishing, and kayaking. We are also big Phillies Phans and love going to baseball games. When I can’t be outdoors, I love to curl up with a good book or watch movies. If you ever venture to my classroom, you will notice my fondness for penguins. I have loved them since third grade!!!
